Ok, so when 50+ heavily armed and armored Ermorian legionnaires are utterly crushed by under ten opponents without even inflicting one casualty, that to me signals it's time to throw in the towel. Oh, and the attack came from a neighbor who announced to everone that they didn't intend to involve themselves in any wars at this time.

I hearby cede what little remains of my lands to Pangaea. All gems and money will go to Atlantis. These two empires have dealt with me amicably and haven't resorted to the kind of scummy lowlife backstabbing and kicking-when-they're-down antics that other, more imbalanced nations have.

Surely the fates will smile upon the honorable and righteous nations mentioned above, and smite down those who spit in the face of honor and are little more than lying, petty, vile thugs who believe themselves strong and convince themselves of this fact by harrassing the weak while hiding from the truly strong.

Remember, life is but a string of consequences for our actions and the choices we make. Dishonor will haunt you and cloud your visage far longer than you can imagine, and your consequences have only begun.

I believe honor and light will win in the end, though the road will be long. The citizens of Ermor, disenchanted with the rule of Aurelios, who slept while they died, have taken up Pangaea on their offer of peace, though they know even under the rule of the forest folk many years of war lie ahead before true peace can be achieved.

May glory and victory follow the hallowed footsteps of Pangaea and Atlantis, and may Neifelheim and Vanheim know naught but pain, suffering, and the sour taste of thier own lack of dignity and integrity.

For the sake of all great nations, do not be so foolish at to believe any words that come from Vanheim or Neifelheim, as they use deceit as the foreguard of their armies. If you attempt to deal with them and expect honor, you will be woefully digging your own graves.

Ermor salutes you. The Senate is disbanded, and the people look to Pangaea for guidance. Goodbye.
